Fourteen youngsters from the 2nd and 9th Grantham Scouts joined a special RiverCare Grantham event to learn more about their local river and how they can help look after it
The newly inducted #LitterHeroes collected 26 cans, 41 bottles, 6 carrier bags, 27 fast food items, 27 sweet wrappers, 8 crisp packets, 3 PPE masks & 4 gloves, a wheel rim & clothing from a stretch of the River Witham.
After their amazing clean-up efforts, Paige from Lincolnshire Rivers Trust taught the group about kick sampling & aquatic invertebrates in the river and how we use these to determine how healthy the river is.
A huge thank you to all the Scouts who have already made a massive difference to the river by joining Grantham RiverCare!
